Dodecahedron

I knew there wasn’t going to be time or space for any quilting over the Christmas holidays, so I picked up a couple of quilting magazines from the bookstore to keep me happy. When I flipped through the latest issue of the New Zealand Quilter I found this – a 12-sided pin cushion. Just what I needed – a small portable hand-sewn project to keep me sane!

I did most of the prep work on a portable table while watching football and chatting with family.

It’s made of 5 diamonds sewn into stars. 12 stars, one for each side.

I can’t wait to see it finished!

Now THAT is cool! I’m not a pincushion user, but it would certainly be a nice, bright addition to my sewing room (hint, hint!!). Love the fabrics. Did you hand-sew all of those diamonds?????

I’m reading your blog backwards, i.e. scrolling back through all the posts. So I haven’t seen a picture of the completed pincushion and was wondering if you were able to complete it. I’m very curious to know what it looks like because I have a hard time visualizing things in three dimensions. (That’s why I love making quilts; they’re flat!)
